[at-l] Did I find the right spot on the map?

[David Addleton]

wikimapia is an "open" project that allows people put in names of places and
links to photos. I have Google earth and I've seen what it does on the trail
and in my back yard. I was thinking people here might wish to add some links
and names to an open spot in the wikimapia project before some else comes
along and starts making mistakes . . .
